Patent EP-0895060-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RAHN JOHN P
IPC: G01M11/08
Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for quantitatively characterizing the pressure-induced
nonreciprocity of a fiber-optic coil where the pressure-induced nonreciprocity is a
property of a fiber-optic coil which pertains to the degree to which light beams, initially in phase,
differ in phase as a result of traversing the fiber-optic coil in reverse directions while the fiber-optic
coil is being subjected to a time-varying pressure. The method conprises the steps of
applying time-varying pressure to the fiber-optic coil for a predetermined time period, measuring
the phase difference of light beams traversing the fiber-optic coil in reverse directions during the
predetermined time period, and obtaining a measure of the nonreciprocity of the fiber-optic
coil
utilizing the measured phase difference. If the time-varying pressure is specified by a first
function of time, the measure of the nonreciprocity is the integral over the predetermined time
period of the product of a second function of time and either (1) the phase difference of light
beams traversing the fiber-optic coil in reverse directions during the predetermined time period
or (2) the integral over time of the phase difference. The second function is chosen such that the
measure of the nonrecipocity has a signal-to-noise ratio of at least one. Preferably, the second
function is (1) an approximation of the time derivative of the first function if the product
involves the phase difference or (2) an approximation of the first function if the product involves
the integral of the phase difference. The invention also includes the apparatus for practicing the
method.

Abstract: In a method embodiment, there are steps (160) to operate a
microprocessor having at least one counter located on the
microprocessor. The method operates functional circuitry on the
microprocessor over a plurality of clock cycles. This operation
causes an on-chip activity to occur at least once during the
plurality of clock cycles. The method also advances a count in
the at least one counter in response to each incidence of the on-chip
activity. After this advancement of the count, the method
predicts (164) the busyness of the microprocessor in response to
the count in the counter. Finally, the method selectively adjusts
power consumption (168) of the microprocessor in response to a
comparison of the predicted busyness with a threshold.

Abstract: In order to provide a user of a computer messaging system with information
about a message sent over an information network, for example the Internet, a
message track data structure including data from the track of a message is built. This
is then used to generate a graphical representation of the message track for display to
the user. In building the message track data structure, entries are created for nodes
in the message track, the entries including data defining the message status at the
nodes. Graphical representations of nodes and of connecting elements for connecting
nodes, and iconic representations of message status at the nodes can be accessed in
a graphical database or generated on the fly for creating the graphical representation
of the message track. Textual information can be added to the graphical
representations of the nodes. The message tracking can be performed at the same time

Abstract: The transmission line has a base connection with two B-channels (B64) and a D-channel (D16). When a connection which requires the D-channel is requested, the line termination (LT) is informed. It and the network termination (NT) make the capacity of the D-channel as well as the two B-channels available for the connection. According to protocol the entire connection is a D-channel connection. If a speech connection is requested, the capacity of the B-channels has to be released. The D-channel then reduces to one channel. If a further B-channel is requested, capacity also needs to be released for it and the remaining D-channel is used. If one of the B-channels is no longer used as a B-channel then its capacity is again added to the D-channel.
